Dear org-mode developers,

For a while now, I've been using the solution to the following
StackOverflow question to archive all done subitems:

http://stackoverflow.com/a/27043756/214686

(I've repeated the question and answer below, for completeness.)

A few months ago, I noticed that the given solution no longer works.
Investigating (with org-mode/2016-08-22), it looks like org-map-entries
skips DONE items---likely different behavior from before.

The following test function can be used to replicate:

(defun org-count ()
  (interactive)
  (message "entries %d" (length
   (org-map-entries t t 'tree))))

Executing this function on any heading with the "DONE" tag returns 0.

Is this the correct behavior for org-map-entries?  If so, what do you
recommend as a better solution for archiving all done sub-items?

Thanks for your help,
Stéfan


StackOverflow Q: How do I archive all subitems?
A:

(defun org-archive-done-tasks ()
  (interactive)
  (org-map-entries
   (lambda ()
     (org-archive-subtree)
     (setq org-map-continue-from (outline-previous-heading)))
   "/DONE" 'tree))
